Thanks for providing this.  We have a netCDF beta release currently
available:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.gz

which has a more recent version of cfortran.h, the file you provided a
patch for, than in the netCDF-3.5.1 release.  

Would it be possible for you to test whether your patch works with the
more recent 4.3 version of cfortran.h in our beta release?  If you
could give us a patch against the cfortran.h file in the beta release,
we could insure that it will be in the next official release, 3.6.0,
due out in a few weeks.  Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to
apply the patch to the more recent file, especially since we have no
way of testing it.

Thanks!
